9.1 Password Manager Utility

To change a password in any subsystem other than alert management and admin tools, execute the command:

<INSTALL_DIR>/changePassword.sh: This prompts for the passwords of all the required application users. The passwords that are entered are not output to (that is, not shown on) the screen and the same password must be re-entered in order to be accepted. If it is not necessary to change a given password, press the Enter key to skip to the next password. The password that was skipped was not changed. The script prompts for passwords for the following users, depending on what subsystems have been installed:

  • Data Ingest User
  • Database Utility User
  • Algorithm User
  • Data Miner User

If there is a need to change a specific password property stored in an application configuration file, the following command can be run:

<INSTALL_DIR>/changePasswords.sh <property name>

For example: <INSTALL_DIR>/changePasswords.sh email.smtp.password

Note:

If you are running this utility for the first time after installation, execute the following command.

<INSTALL_DIR>/changePassword.sh all

Note that all passwords must be entered and it is not possible to skip a password.

For changing password for admin tools subsystem, execute the command FIC_HOME/AM/ changePassword.sh.This prompts for the passwords of the following users:

  • Web Application User
  • Data Miner User

When changing a password for the admin tools subsystem, if the Web application is deployed from a WAR file, the WAR file must be regenerated by running FIC_HOME/AM/create_at_war.sh.
